[Vision2020] are you interested in having backyard chickens?

[Saundra Lund]

Hi Bill & Visionaries,

 

I'm wondering if you or those with backyard chicken coops in Moscow know
anything about the draft ordinance being worked on and if it will it have
any effect on those who might be interested in keeping chickens in the City?

 

I noticed this from the Administrative Committee agenda Ms. Kalasz posted on
9/10/2009:

Future Agenda Items

Policy & Procedure for Closing of Main Street

Economic Development Update - Travis Cary

USDA Farmers Market Promotion Program Grant Award - Alisa Stone/Kathleen
Burns (9/28)

Moscow Charter School Request for HIRC Rental Fee Reduction - Dwight
Curtis/Peggy Brodien, Principal (9/28)

Draft Ordinance Regarding Chickens - Randy Fife (9/28)

Southeast Moscow Industrial Park Consultant Contract - Bill Belknap (9/28)

 

[Emphasis is mine.  SL]

 

I didn't hear the draft ordinance presented at yesterday's Administrative
Committee meeting, so I don't know anything about it.

 

 

Thanks,

Saundra Lund

Moscow, ID

The Moscow Food Co-op is sponsoring the first annual "Co-op Coop Cruise" 
from 4pm to 6pm on Sunday, October 11 to visit 4 backyard chicken coops 
in Moscow.
 
The cruise participants will tour the backyard chicken coops, talk with 
the owners to learn about the realities of raising chickens and 
gathering eggs, and have the opportunity to ask questions about starting 
their own home poultry programs. Snacks and beverages will be provided 
by the Co-op along the tour.
 
The cost of the Co-op Coop Cruise is $12 for adults, $5 for children 
(children under 3 are free). Tickets can be purchased from any cashier 
at the Moscow Food Co-op. Enrollment is limited.
 
The 4 chicken coops on the tour are all located at homes within 
residential neighborhoods in the city of Moscow. The tour does not 
include transportation. Participants must provide their own 
transportation between coops.
 
The Co-op is located at 121 East Fifth Street in downtown Moscow.
